Join the Network
Are you interested in your church being a part of a network of leaders where you and your church can have access to helpful benefits while engaging in relationships that make us all stronger for the gospel’s sake? There is a process for new church plants as well as for established churches that desire what the Gwinnett Metro Baptist Network has to offer. You can discover more about the qualifications, the process, and the benefits without any obligation. Simply (have your pastor) contact our director, Dr. Steve Parr at steve@gmba.org and that is the first step. Perhaps that might lead to the next steps. Whether it does or does not, our prayer and our desire is that God will use your congregation to advance the gospel in Jesus name.
Gwinnett Metro Network Benefits
Gwinnett Metro Baptist pastors and churches serve their congregations and communities while staying connected to a Network of authentic leaders who desire for every church to thrive and to be missionally engaged. We can do more for the Kingdom together. We serve Jesus Christ, shepherd our congregations, and support one another. Some of the benefits include, but are not limited to the following:
- Member churches receive a continuous flow of equipping opportunities presented live and on-line to strengthen pastors, ministries, and congregations.
- Network pastors are invited to participate in interactive cohorts with other pastors to fellowship, learn from one another, to grow, and to seek to be at our best for God’s glory.
- Member churches receive a continuous flow of mission opportunities to select from locally, nationally, and internationally.
- Member churches that desire to grow, upon request, get direct access to leaders who provide the coaching and resources to advance their ministry forward.
- Network pastors receive information and access to unique benefits on a regular basis.
- Member churches that are new church plants have access to resources, monthly funding, and potential grants through the New Church Foundation.
- Active member church pastors are eligible for crisis financial assistance.
- Member churches can receive consultation and support if they find themselves in transition.
- Active member churches are included on the net website giving accessibility to new community members seeking churches.
- Active member churches are eligible to be highlighted as “church of the week” on the gwinnettmetro.net website featuring the preaching of the pastor.
- Member churches get to work alongside a diverse group of pastors that will encourage and enable them to touch the lives of community members from all backgrounds.
- Full Member churches fall under the 501c3 umbrella giving them non-profit status which allows your church to receive deductible contributions.
Member churches work in voluntary cooperation and partnership allowing the church to allocate resources as God uniquely leads each congregation.
